I saw your comment on Ka...I love the brownie table! I saw your comment on Karen's blog about the children's books and I just had to comment back. When I went to Scotland I bought a set of Winnie the Pooh books. It was a UK exclusive edition and I just thought that it was neat to purchase them in the UK where they were originally written, even though I could have gotten similar ones at home. I also know that often times books that were originally British are often "Americanized" when they are published in America. For example, the Harry Potter books are a good example. In the American versions all of the British slang has been Americanized (Snog was changed to kiss). And finally, a children's author that I discovered while I was in Scotland is Kim Lewis. You can get her books in America, but they are very British (I think that she lives on a sheep farm in Northumberland). They are very sweet children's stories about small animals on British farms (lambs, sheep dogs, etc.) They would probably be fun to read with J. in another year or two. Have fun looking.Mindy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08042321699421422424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542106622490823914.post-86920359493850342482009-09-17T15:57:57.295-05:002009-09-17T15:57:57.295-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.A Tale of Two Citieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03625687318415580972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542106622490823914.post-65261730541262632252009-09-16T16:37:26.890-05:002009-09-16T16:37:26.890-05:00Wonderful!
